We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Aimee Dietz to USF who will be leading the LaRCT Lab. 🎉

Her research focuses on improving communication of people with aphasia through innovative Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) solutions. Another line of her research focuses on how mind-body practices, including adapted yoga, might be harnessed to build resilience and coping for people with post-stroke aphasia and their co-survivors.
